Essay: U.S. Should Consider Establishing a South China Sea International Operations Center in Indonesia
news.usni.org/2015/03/09/essay-u-s-should-consider-establishing-a-south-china-sea-international-operations-center-in-indonesia
..........
Coalition Building and the Maritime Commerce
The strategic rebalance has long been a focus of policymakers in Washington and was reiterated recently again by the Obama administration’s 2015 National Security Strategy. The new strategy highlighted China’s military modernization and the potential for intimidation in territorial disputes. The new strategy also advocated that the United States will “manage competition from a position of strength” and “will closely monitor China’s military modernization and expanding presence in Asia, while seeking ways to reduce the risk of misunderstanding or miscalculation.”
As part of the rebalance strategy, the U.S. Navy should establish an IMOC located in Jakarta, Indonesia, to monitor the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. The IMOC would serve as the primary link to enhance maritime relations with the Indian, Indonesian, and Southeast Asian maritime forces. An operations center supported by international navies is a familiar concept in key maritime areas. In Bahrain, the Combined Maritime Forces exists as a multi-national naval partnership consisting of 30 nations to promote security, stability and prosperity in the maritime domain. In Norwood, United Kingdom, as part of NATO, the Allied Maritime Command operates two key organizations: a 24/7 operations center for permanent command and control of NATO maritime operations, and a shipping center to provide dialogue and coordination with the shipping industry about potential threats.
..........
Why Indonesia?
There are several locations in the Asia Pacific, such as Singapore, that could serve as the IMOC headquarters, but Indonesia offers unique strategic attributes. First, compared to other Asia Pacific nations, Indonesia’s economy is the fourth largest in the Asia Pacific behind China, Japan, and India. (See the graphic illustrating Indonesia’s GDP in comparison to other Southeast Asia nations) Given Indonesia’s economic influence, the U.S. government should embark on an aggressive campaign to improve bilateral trade relations and include Indonesia as part of the Trans Pacific Partnership, which is a proposed trade agreement with 11 nations and considered the foundation of the Obama Administration’s Asia Pacific economic policy.
Second, Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo desires his nation to become a primary player in the maritime domain. After assuming the presidency, he stated, “Thus, as a maritime country, Indonesia should assert itself as the World Maritime Axis. This position opens opportunities for Indonesia to develop regional and international cooperation for the prosperity of the people.” To help promote this renewed maritime focus, President Jokowi has proposed increasing military spending by 1.5 percent of Indonesia’s total GDP. In addition, he has published a maritime doctrine with five pillars to advance his quest and establish Indonesia as the maritime “fulcrum.”
President Jokowi recognizes with a limited budget, foreign investment plays a critical role in achieving success and has said, “So we need investment, we need investors, to boost our economic growth, to build our deep seaports, to build our airports.” As President Barak Obama enters the last years of his administration, a strategic opportunity exists to establish a meaningful relationship with Indonesia to improve economic development and maritime security. President Obama could lean on his strong personal ties to Indonesia—he lived there during his childhood and his mother worked there for more than 20 years. President Obama’s actions toward Indonesia are crucial to support President Jokowi’s vision and will also require buy-in from Congress to boost Indonesia’s economy.
Third, Indonesia can emerge as a beacon for democracy in a time period where Southeast Asian nations such as Thailand are struggling with political unrest. Indonesia is the third largest democracy in the world behind India and the United States respectively. In 2014, 50 percent of the population was reported under the age of 30 and the working-age population will grow by 14.8 million by 2020. Those demographics offer an opportunity to spur interest in democratic ideals and open market economies.
Fourth, the IMOC’s location in Indonesia serves as a central point for maritime operations in the Asia Pacific. The U.S. Navy relies on one Fleet Commander (7th Fleet) in Yokosuka, Japan, to oversee 48 million square nautical miles and sustain relationships with 35 nations. This enormous responsibility and sheer size of the Asia Pacific requires several nodes throughout the theater to maintain a robust maritime domain awareness. By adding an IMOC in Indonesia, the Navy can further leverage and integrate partner nations to monitor the maritime domain from the center outward.
Even though Indonesia provides strategic attributes for an IMOC, the maritime nation has several shortcomings moving forward. The most critical is a suitable infrastructure—specifically ports and roads. Last year the World Bank issued an Indonesia Development Policy Review and cited the specifics of the infrastructure gap. The report indicated that Indonesia’s “port capacity remains very limited” and “compares poorly with other developing Asian countries on trade logistics measures.” In addition, the report offered that Indonesia’s roads have faced a decade of under-investment, which has “contributed to serious capacity gaps, congestion problems and poor logistics performance.” The World Bank has projected $120 billion (U.S.) is required to improve Indonesian roads.
President Jokowi seems to have the right vision to improve Indonesia’s poor infrastructure, but faces other hurdles in the coming years as well. He will have to narrow the skills gap in the labor market, improve the functioning of several public and private markets, fight the potential threat of international terrorism, thwart corruption, and maintain the support of approximately 220 million Muslims and numerous ethnic groups speaking more than 700 different languages. In addition he will need to answer his nation’s past history of human rights abuses. In 2014, Indonesia failed to report previous human rights violations to the United Nations and was questioned earlier this year about the nation’s commitment for resolving those issues. Regardless of Indonesia’s shortcomings, the nation is at a unique historical crossroads as a rising Asia Pacific nation.
The United States has a difficult challenge to rebalance towards the Asia Pacific and monitor China’s maritime rise. More important, the nation has made a commitment to allies and partners that must be followed by actions or the potential loss of credibility will ensue. During his trip to Australia in 2011, President Obama commented, “So let there be no doubt: in the Asia Pacific in the 21st century, the United States of America is all in.” If the United States is “all in” in its rebalance towards the Asia-Pacific, the Navy with the assistance of Congress and the Obama administration should explore ways to do more as China further advances its interests and influence in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.

RX-450 Static Test
Previous Picture
RX 450 - 2012 test
At the end of August 2014, Rocket Technology Center Space agency (LAPAN) has done the conversion rocket static test with the type RX-450. This program is to increase the ability of researchers and engineers in the manufacture of solid rocket motors. This rocket will serve as a booster rocket in a series of satellite booster rocket. Tests carried out at the Institute of Production and Testing Rocket Lapan, Pameungpeuk, Garut, West Java.
Static testing of rocket RX 450 is intended for researchers of Rocket Technology Center Space agency to know about rocket motor performance. As a result, the static test of the RX 450 was accomplished successfully and achieve their targets. From the results of this test, Lapan has obtained the data characteristics of the rocket motor. In the simulation the researchers predict the duration of the rocket motor performance RX 450 is for 18 seconds. However, this static test results indicate the duration time of 19.5 seconds.
Caliber 450 mm rockets with a total length of 6110 mm has a thrust of about 12 895 kg. Which uses fuel rocket propellant motors composite has a length of 4459 mm. After the success of this static test, the next step on the agenda is the rocket flight test RX 450.
The success of this test brings great hope to achieve the vision of Lapan. The expectation is to build and launch their own satellites built independently. Of course, to achieve this target, the necessary national capabilities and synergies with the various parties are needed.

Thanks for the numbers, i wonder how long its gonna take for pindad to complete 1000 anoa. We already have around 300units anoa in our inventory, so we need another 700units. With production capacity less than 100units/year, this will take more than 7 years to complete. Money is not the issue here, standart version price only around Rp 7B, so we need less than Rp 5T for the rest of 700units which is within our defense budget capability. And the price will go down even further if we can order this in bulk 700.

Anoa price tag is around 12 billion Rupiah
DEFENSE STUDIES: Sertifikasi Panser Anoa Amfibi akan Selesai Juni
To me is quite fair price, as their quality built is far more than the BTR series the Marines used and especially the automatic ramp door feature in which a notable absense in BTR.

In the video above, Pindad representative stated that basic Anoa APC priced around Rp 7B. Off course the price will increase with added features and fungtions. Still, Rp 12B is quite ok and affordable.

Sweden will offer Saab Erieye AEW & C to Indonesia
SAAB AB, defense and security industry Sweden, has started a series of talks about the supply air surveillance system Erieye AEW & C to the Indonesian government to guard the airspace, land, and maritime country.
"We will be glad if our system was unacceptable Indonesia and we have been in talks about this with the Indonesian government," said Vice President and Chief of the Air Observation Systems and Business Systems for Defense Electronics SAAB AB Lars Tossman in Götheborg, Sweden, Monday.
The bid, said Tossman, associated also with aircraft systems offer JAS-39 Gripen fighter who participated in the projected replacement fighter aircraft F-5E / F Tiger II at 14 Air Squadron Air Force.
According to him, the system developed by Saab AB on devices Erieye AEW & C is very fitting with the purposes of Indonesia which has a very wide airspace.
From the height of its operations, surveillance and intelligence systems Erieye AEW & C is able to reach the area in a radius of more than 900 kilometers which means it behind the curvature of the Earth, equivalent to the "volume" supervised space 500,000 square kilometers and 20 kilometers horizontal vertical.
Active Electronically-based sensor array system, this system works on the S-band frequency, with ultra-high sensitivity, and the object is observed in real-time imaging. Data-link-based NATO applied a data-link L16 and L11.
If placed in Indonesian airspace, it only takes two Erieye AEW & C in air Jakarta and Makassar in order to cover 80 percent of the country's airspace.
Technically, if any intruder aircraft speed of sound (about 900 kilometers per hour), the system can immediately determine its presence so that the fighter Indonesia have enough time countering them.
So far, the Air Force has only one air squadron of observation (surveillance), who is the Air Squadron 5, which consists of three Boeing 737-200 Maritime Patrol. The aircraft is equipped with sensors SLAMMR (Side Looking Airborne Radar Modular multimission), navigation equipment INS (Inertial Navigational System) and Omega Navigation System. Everything is based on 1980s technology.
Lossman stated, Erieye AEW & C system has several advantages, among others, can be adjusted by the wearer domestic purposes. "In fact, aka footing aircraft carrier platform can be adjusted. That would have been certified so far is the Saab 2000 and Embraer 145," he said.
Type of aircraft "penggendong" first, SAAB 2000 is a turboprop.
"We are very concerned about aspects of the operation and the cost of crop. Therefore, the operation of turboprop aircraft can reduce operating costs without prejudice to the functions and effectiveness," he said.
Marketing Director Air Systems SAAB AB Magnus Hagman states, from South East Asia, Thailand recently signed booking so Erieye AEW & C. Royal Thai Air Force is also a prime operator JAS-39 Gripen in ASEAN.
Retired fighter pilot instructor at the Royal Swedish Air Force was also said, "One of the important principles in military air operations is put ataus flew combat fighter at the right place and time. Between the Gripen system and Erieye AEW & C are complementary."

C-295 is quite a potential platform for this, and that spoke person has already given a hint for us.

C-295 is a variant of CN 235 that is designed by Casa and PT Dirgantara Indonesia. Both designer ( CASA/ now Airbus Military, and PT Dirgantara) can develop further the based design (C-235) by their own, and C-295 is Airbus Military design.
(AWACS Version)
Airbus Military project but so far there is no sales, just a prototype, so why dont we cooperate with Saab using this platform, it will benefit Airbus Military as well with some potential buyers in South East Asian region and Middle East.
In order to be considered by us of course the system should be compatible with F-16 and Sukhoi family system.
PT Dirgantara so far can make CN-235 MPA and ASW, so why not this one...? This project will also benefit our avionics companies such as PT LEN as any military order should pass the current law that impose transfer of technology, beside benefiting PT Dirgantara and Airbus Military as the base platform of the system.
Currently PT Dirgantara is designing bigger CN-235 though, but we dont know yet when this new CN-235 designed is going to show up on the market. So, if we are in a rush, we can use C-295 instead, and of course we need to talk to Airbus Military first before beginning the project.
